Get to Know World of Warcraft: Forever
Catch up on the latest from World of Warcraft: Forever, including choosing your ruleset, naming your character, class and race combinations, the Skyborne, and the Legacy System as you prepare to carve your path through Azeroth.
Choose Your Ruleset
Every journey through Azeroth begins with a choice about the kind of world you want to step into. In World of Warcraft: Forever, rulesets help you choose the kind of experience you want first as you begin carving your path through Azeroth. All you need to know is in our overview.
Create a Name of Your Own
A name is one of the first choices you make when creating a character. In World of Warcraft: Forever, character names gain more room to breathe through a new two-name structure designed for a larger, realmless Azeroth. More details can be found here.
Create the Hero You Want to Be
Race and class shape the hero you become, from the fantasy you embody to the role you take on in the world. You can return to a familiar favorite, explore a newly available combination, or begin your journey as a Skyborne character, with each choice offering a different way to step into Azeroth’s next chapter. Your hero awaits—learn more about it in our article.
Meet the New Skyborne
A new adventure rises above Azeroth. The Skyborne invite you into a story of wind and ancestry—one that begins on Zephras Isle and continues as you decide whether your Skyborne will join the Horde or the Alliance. Learn more about the Skyborne here.
Get to Know the Legacy System
Take a peek at an account-wide horizontal progression system—the Legacy System. It’s a way to progress by exploring more of what the game has to offer, while every character you love contributes to your journey. Learn more about this feature here.
